Bike or truck,your choice! Another shot of the great old antique shop near historic Galena,IL. Have a great truck thursday all!
A few seconds later he picks up the delivery trolley up it fell again forward just missing the young lady and child walking by Lucky everybody was ok apart from the delivery to the shop.
A gorgeous model of a version of the interplanetary, nuclear-pulse Project Orion spacecraft.
Just me I know & irrelevant...to anything; however, I find the presence of the date/photo ID number to be perplexing, with regard to the subject, that is. Its format & placement, even the font used, is that of official North American Aviation (NAA)/North American Rockwell (NR/NAR) photographs of the time. If so, the first grouping of numerals might even be missing the normally trailing "8".
Orion - to the best of my knowledge - was primarily, if not exclusively, a General Dynamics (GD)/General Atomic Div. effort/proposal, and the USAF. GD never became affiliated with, nor consumed by NR/NAR. Further, Orion was cancelled as of 1964/65.
If I’m correct, why would NR/NAR reissue what I assume to originally be a GD photo, from ca. 1960-64? The program itself was never resurrected. And if not a reissue, and indeed by NR/NAR, in 1969…why?
Not surprisingly, there’s no shortage of material pertaining to Project Orion.

A model of a different and the most prevalent variant in diagrams & literature, with the forward-located toroidal “crew/personnel accommodations” module/station:

Other than the photos I’ve linked to above of what is likely the same model, my rather extensive searching hasn’t yielded nothing depicting/referencing the forward, transverse-mounted presumable crew/personnel module. Was it to possibly be used in an artificial gravity-inducing capacity? By rotation of the entire spacecraft along the central axis? I don’t see a separation plane between it and the "payload spine" of the vehicle - permitting independent rotation - which I naively/ignorantly would’ve expected.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is this...which bears some outward resemblance...however, these are "deployable" modules, that apparently pivot outward - à la "Pilgrim Observer", which certainly doesn't seem to be the case with the model:

Amusingly/Interestingly, artificial gravity for the more prevalently rendered design was to be achieved by the “tumbling pigeon”/”baton” mode of rotation, with the spacecraft basically tumbling end-over-end…not during periods of active nuclear pulsing…of course.

Finally...note the repeated nuclear detonation "weathering" of the bottom of the pusher plate.
I want one…IT. I hope it somehow survived.

Thank you all for your favorites, comments and your support. That makes me very happy :)
In the streets of Munich.
This is an old bike with a basket on the front - the forerunner of the Tesco or Ocado delivery van, if you like - with all the groceries in the basket and the rider pedalling like hell to get up the hills to deliver to your door.

The dabbawalas getting the lunch boxes ready outside Churchgate Station in Mumbai.
"Since 1890, dressed in white outfit and traditional Gandhi Cap, a Mumbai Army of 5,000 Dabbawalas fulfill the hunger of almost 200,000 Mumbaikar with home-cooked food that is carried between home and office daily. For more than a century our team have been part of this grime-ridden metropolis-of-dreams.
About 125 years back, a Parsi banker wanted to have home cooked food in office and gave this responsibility to the first ever Dabbawala. Many people liked the idea and the demand for Dabba delivery soared. It was all informal and individual effort in the beginning, but visionary Mahadeo Havaji Bachche saw the opportunity and started the lunch delivery service in its present team-delivery format with 100 Dabbawalas"
Remember how good soda use to taste in glass bottles? In the Philippines, it is easy to find bottled soda in most small restaurants and roadside convenient stores (sari saris). Unfortunately, bottled soda is delivered in trucks that don't have refrigeration and the soda heats up in the bottles before it's put into coolers or is poured over ice.

March 29, 2020 - Krakow, Poland: Main Market Square in Old Town Krakow during coronavirus pandemic, usually very crowded on a Sunday afternoon with people, now empty except for a food delivery person on bicycle.
PedidosYa is one of several courier delivery services in Buenos Aires.
THE GUARDIAN:
23 August, 2019:
A Buenos Aires judge bans delivery apps after road accidents spike.
When a courier delivering a takeaway in Buenos Aires was hit by a car 16 August, 2019, the company’s response was not to check how he was, but to ask: - “How is the order?”.
A judge has now ordered the suspension of delivery apps after finding that major players Rappi, Glovo, and PedidosYa, failed to comply with the law – of course the companies deny any wrong doing. The judges banned them until they start following the law.
The judges ruling applies to all companies that fail to comply with the law, but specifically mentions Rappi, Glovo and PedidosYa.
There has been an alarming number of road accidents in Buenos Aires involving couriers, with 13 to 40 incidents per month.

Sure would be nice if at least one of these survived. Being a scale model lover, especially of spacecraft…and on this scale, I’m almost drooling.
Lo & behold:
Despite apparently not being on display – YESSS!!! It's base & mounting rod (both visible directly behind it) appear to be affixed to/stowed on the inside of the hinged 'door' of its crate:
